Meet the author behind the biography of local rock icon

When Robin George passed away in in 2024 the world lost a star that shone brighter than most. But in truth, he should have shone even brighter. Once hailed as the 'axe of tomorrow', his Dangerous Music album and its infectious single 'Heartline' attracted an army of loyal fans for decades to come, but it should have catapulted Robin George to being a household name. So why didn’t it? After all, Robin George had all the necessary ingredients to be a Rock and Pop superstar?

Robin experienced the most extraordinary bad luck; but also, intrusions such as robberies, the deaths of superstars and the collapsing of record companies, all of which conspired to spoil the feast.

Once linked with Duran Duran, Robin was a highly respected and sought-after guitarist and producer who worked with some of the best including Glenn Hughes, Phil Lynott, Robert Plant, Roy Wood and lots more. Yet the back stories to some of these collaborations are as agonising as they are impressive.

HEARTLINE: the Authorised Biography of Robin George tells the story of a musical workaholic who despite the unprecedented knockbacks he encountered never stopped believing in himself and his music.

With a foreword from Vix ‘Fuzzbox’ Perks, an afterword from Robin's wife, Debbie, a tribute from Peter Goalby (Uriah Heep), Mark Stanway (Magnum), and contributions from friends, family, fans, musicians, and crucially Robin himself, this is the definitive biography of a bloke from Wolverhampton who when life gave him lemons, he made lemonade… and great music.

Martin will be at Script Haven between the hours of 11am and 3pm.
